aucl-pm.2011 (split June/July 2011) -
This was a fantastic collection of autographs collected by Paddy
McHugh, 46 Railway Street, Lisburn, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, also
at Balmoral House, 35 Lisburn Rd, Balmoral, Belfast.
The collection was bought from leading sports auctioneers 'Mullocks'. On
examining the rugby signatures in the collection we found that they
were consistent with known signatures of players. Others who examined
the collection were in agreement that the signatures were genuine and
no doubt was cast on their authenticity. The
collection was mostly of Irish rugby players and other Irish sporting interest.
Included in the collection were a couple of letters requesting
autographs by post. Amongst the single sheets in the collection were 3 George Best
autographs, other items included a 1980 Olympics postcard with a personal message addressed
to Paddy from the 1972 gold medal winner Mary Peters, the 1958
Northern Ireland boxing team at the Empire Games on headed notepaper
and a letter from Willie
Waddell the Rangers manager thanking Paddy for his letter of sympathy
just 14 days after the Ibrox disaster.
